Let's start the post a bit heavy. Maus by Art Spiegelman is a the story of his father surviving The Holocaust. The story is told in an interesting way. The Jews are depicted as mice, Nazis are depicted as cats, and there are several other animals shown to represent other different people. This is one of the first 'Graphic Novels' taken seriously by people outside of the comic book world, and for good reason. It touches on a very serious subject and doesn't compromise any of its intelligence.
La Pistola y El Corazon (The pistol and the heart) is a painting by artist George Yepes. I feel like the poses and gaze of the figures shows that a conflict either just begun or has just been resolved.... What do you think!?
"My Red Bike" by concept artist Bobby Chiu shows what seems to be a fitting end to a little conflict! EEK!
